My idology



I believe that a smile can go a long way. Passing by strangers and smiling at them can hit harder then what people can imagine. I heard a story about this guy who wrote a suicide note. In the note it explained that if he got one smile on his way to his suicide point then he wouldn't do it. Unfortunately they found his dead body. I believe that smiling to anyone is a little stretch of making this world a better place and making people feel better.

apples and oranges


When talking about what Che did in Bolivia and comparing it to the activities happening in Pakistan I feel are completely different. It is the same in the way that both the US and Che are trying to take out this high archy but it is still different because of the people that each are dealing with. They are the same though in the way that the two are training secretly.

Documentary on Barack Obama


This documentary would be interesting to audiences of today because he has just recently become an icon to many. I would start the documentary with his parents and work up to today where he is, in the white house. I picked Barack Obama because he is our first African American to be president. I love seeing documentaries of people that have either had it tough or have made a significant change to the world that has made it how it is today. I feel that people would be really interested in Barack's life and would help people better understand his future thoughts he has for this country.

My own documentary of Che


If I were making my own documentary about Che I would include a lot of the same events as the timeline included. My questions to be answered would be how did Che come to the power that he beheld? How did Che come popular in the Western (our) world? Why did it take them so long to find his body? All questions to answer the main question who is Che? Why do people like or dislike him? My main aspects would be answering those questions.

The real Che Gruvara




I definitely agree with Beck! Why do kids wear these shirts? Do they have any idea what they are supporting? It was a great point when Beck makes the point kids wouldn't wear a Hitler shirt, but why are they wearing Che shirts? By wearing a Che shirt or calling him an idol is calling Hitler, Stalin, Castro and idol as well. He killed thousands of people. In Che's camps/ prisons it killed more people in the first 3 years than Hitler's did in the first six years.
Why the heck would they put in the news paper, "Che's legacy looms longer than ever. Forty years his execution, the ionic revolutionary embodies a modern leftist spirit."
The western world changed the thought of Che from a Stalin wannabe to a iconic revolutionary.
Beck is quiet interesting with how he makes you feel ignorant of not knowing the true story. He makes anyone feel ignorant if they did not know his true story. He definitely uses sarcasm.
